## Moksha
### Etymology

From Proto-Mordvinic *lijä (*lijə), possibly from Pre-Mordvinic *lika~*līka, borrowed from Proto-Baltic [Term?] (compare Latvian lieks (“too much, extra, unnecessary”), Lithuanian liẽkas (“odd, extra, too much”)). Despite the similarity between the Mordvinic word and Finnish liika (“too much; odd”) with cognates in all other Finnic languages, the etymological dictionaries have not considered the Finnic and Mordvinic words as etymological cognates.
Veršinin considers this term evidently connected with иля (iľa, “other, different”), the latter being the original form, the root и- (i-) is of the same origin as исень (iseń, “of yesterday [adjective]”) and ичкозе (ičkoze, “far”), э- (e-) in Erzya эзк (ezk, “close, next to”), эське (eśke, “last time”), he compares -э- (-e-) in Tundra Nenets [script needed] (ŋeli, “other, different”), [script needed] (ŋelimź, “to become different”), Udmurt иськан (iśkan, “close female friend, close relative”) and Eastern Mari (в)е- ((v)je-) in вес(е) (ves(je), “other”) (where в- (v-) might be a secondary development.) In relation to the last ones, he also compares Proto-Turkic [Term?] (eš, “friend”).
In the Erzya word иля (iľa, “don't [imperative of negation verb]”) Veršinin sees shifting of meaning from "that (one)" → "not (that one)," where the и- (i-) originally has been a demonstrative component, the same as in the Moksha term.
